Pre-IFPA tournamemts in Denmark

[MCR]

Hej!

Nedan information är från Peter i Danmark.
Vi kan föranmäla två personer per täving, och anmälan via den här tråden (svara på frågorna allra längst ned) önskas senast 18/2.
Som jag förstår det så behöver man inte föranmäla sig om man redan ska spela IFPA (för då kommer man att erbjudas en plats ändå),
Så vi kan ju köra de två högst rankade intressenterna per tävling (som inte redan har IFPA-plats vill säga)
Alla andra kommer att kunna anmäla sig ett par dagar efter dead line.

PRE-IFPA TOURNAMENTS

As you all have probably noticed, Denmark, via the Pinlab, is hosting
this years IFPA14 tournament.

But, no IFPA World Championship without a lot of pinball action on the
side, and for this, most of the greatest pinball venues in the greater
Copenhagen area have joined together to host a giant smorgasbord

of pinball festivities in the days leading up to the IFPA14, lovingly
called "The IFPA World Championship Week".

As is tradition, it has been decided that each country will be given 2
pre-registration slots for each tournament, which can be given to any
players the CD chooses. How and who you will let pre-register is
entirely up to you.

A pretty important note is that all players that are playing in IFPA14
tournament will have an excemption slot offered to them. So you need not
worry about your top-ranked players, they have already been taken care of.

On to the fun part, the practical information about the week

May 27th -> May 28th, The World Classic Open
A two day "Classics Only" tournament, held in Hvalsø near Roskilde, with
a pristine collection of classic machines.

May 29th -> May 30th, Danish Pinball Open
The already well established Danish Pinball Open has been moved from its
usual spot in October, and has been extended one day.

May 31st, The Retro Arcade Open
The Retro Arcade in Glostrup, a treasure-trove of pinball machines,
opens its doors for a fast one day tournament, the day before IFPA14
kicks off.

And who knows what else might happen during this week of pinball?
The price for participation is 50€ for each tournament.

Hej igen!

Då har jag skickat in Jan Anders och PQ nu.
Ni bör bli kontaktade av danskarna med närmare info.

Hej!

Det var tyvärr bara två per land som fick föranmälas, men anmälningarna till alla tre tävlingar kommer att öppnas inom kort för alla andra.

Jag har bett Danmark att klargöra vilken webadress anmälningssidan finns på och när exakt anmälningen öppnar.
Jag får för mig av danskarnas post att det är på onsdag, men jag är inte säker.

[MCR]

Fick just mejl från IFPA att de som ska vara med i IFPA (och som därför har förtur till de här tre tävlingarna) kan regga sig nu.
Sedan skriver de att:

"We will be making a public announcement at the end of this week on our website about registration for these events"

Så håll utkik på IFPA-sidan ni som är intresserade av att delta i någon eller alla av dessa!

"In celebration of the upcoming World Pinball Championship this June, the IFPA will be taking over Denmark with a WPPR point bonanza of tournaments for flipper fanatics to enjoy!

World Championship Week starts with the World Classic Open on May 27-28th (Saturday-Sunday) in Hvalsø featuring over 50 classic machines available.

Typically held in October, Danish Pinball Open is the Danish European Circuit event and normally the biggest annual event in Denmark. For 2017 they have decided to make this premiere event part of World Championship Week, taking place May 29-30th (Monday-Tuesday). This will be held at the same location as IFPA14.

Action will continue on Wednesday May 31st at the Retro Arcade Open in Glostrup with a collection of over 60 machines."



Because the best players in the world from 20 nations will then the following Thursday play for the World Championship title - expect these tournaments to be visited by the toughest opponents of all time!

Dear pinball players
 
As we get very close to IFPA14 and all the site events, we here bring you some information. Remember to register before May 5th
 
As we’re introducing official betting in connection with the IFPA World Championship Week we need to set a sign-up cut-off date to allow the bookmakers to set the odds.
In addition to IFPA14 we’re offering 3 full whopper tournaments from May 27th-May 31st. The sign-up cut-off date is May 5th for all tournaments.
You can register for all tournaments on www.ifpaworldchampionshipweek.com. You will be able to bet on Danish Pinball Open and IFPA14
Full details (machine banks, format, transportation etc.) will be available from Friday May 19th on the above website.
 
Remember, that all the events – tournaments and side tournaments all will be with fully Whopper points, so you will be able to make a bunch of points, if you can beat the stars of pinball, who will show up for these crazy days.
 
Cheers,
The Pinlab

News

Dear all

We are getting closer to this year big IFPA event in Denmark.

We are happy to see that more than 90 people signed up for the tournaments before IFPA 14, but we have room for more...
Last chance to register for the 3 events, which takes place before the IFPA14, will be Friday 5th of May at 11:59pm.

We did just register a big personality as player number 92 in the Danish Pinball open – We welcome Daniele Celestino Acciari, who together with Cayle George and Raymond Davison currently are the 3 top seed. In the top 10 we also have Jörgen Holm and Trent Augenstein along with great pinball personality’s like Paul Jongma, Robert Sutter, Lyman Sheats, Julio Vicario Soriano and our own Mr. Bobby Ågren. It will by far be the biggest pinball tournament on Danish ground so far.
We, the officiels, have done a big effort in giving you a great time in Copenhagen. We have arranged free bus transportation from Pinlab to the 2 events World Classic Open and Retro Arcade Open. We have screens for audience at IFPA14, good food and drinks at friendly prices and much more.

You can still register here: http://www.ifpaworldchampionshipweek.com/
See you all very soon.

Regards Pinlab

If a timeslot is full, would that show in the registration?
Are you guaranteed your chosen timeslot?

//MAC

[WIZ]

Thanks MAC! The answers are:
A) No - the registration page will not only show open time slots. All players will be allowed to enter their preferred time slot up until registration closes.
B) Consequently no - you are not garenteed your preferred time slot. When we close the registration players will be informed about their actual time slot. (Looks good though).

[MAC]

Okay, thanks! 

[WIZ]

Rumors are it will be possible to enter the World Classic Open tournament running Saturday and Sunday in Denmark! Great chance for any WPPR journey man - over 70 players - mostly international.

Just let me know  - and show up in Hvalsø in your desired timeslot Saturday!
